I don't know if this is the right board to ask

This is a discussion on I don't know if this is the right board to ask within the Tech Board forums, part of the Community Boards category; Is there any condition when the following code might fail and/or crash?
Code:
$ more filter.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $cont = ...

Until you can build a working general purpose reprogrammable computer out of basic components from radio shack, you are not fit to call yourself a programmer in my presence. This is cwhizard, signing off.

Well, I guess the board description kinda fails there a bit xP
But it's meant for technical questions, most in the line of hardware I'd say... But Cprogramming.com is more made for the C languages, except for C# I think...

Most of the requests for a Java board have been referred to the use of the Tech board, IIRC. I don't see a problem with a Perl question here - a lot of C programmers know Perl too. If he's already an active member, he might as well utilize the community.

It's been a long time since I was familiar with Perl, but considering that the only statements inside your loops are simple assignments and explicit conditionals, I think it's a safe bet your code wont fail or crash.
